"What are you doin?, It's DEER SEASON!
If you leave a message, and IF I can understand it, and IF I'm not too drunk, I MIGHT call you back!
Go back to the deer woods, if you know what's good for you, son!"
(beep)
I just got a similar answering machine message!
Some time back, I got one that said:
"Shhhhh! I'm watching a BIG Buck! His butt must be four feet wide! O! My Gawed! (In a whispered voice)
Hang on here.... BANG!!!! HE'S MINE!!!!!!"
(beep)
And another one:
Hello, This is Elmer Fudd.....
Leave me a message, after the beep.
I'll call you back
Or, maybe I won't.
(beep)
who ?
(pause)
WHO ?
(pause)
Oh yeah, I remember now. I don't want to talk to you
Back in the early seventies I worked on the Corp's fee line around Lake Eufaula in eastern Oklahoma. To play nice and get along with the locals we hired a local surveyor and his crew to clear line for us and consult about the 'corners' we were finding. On Friday afternoon we would pack up, leave town and return the following Monday AM for another week.
One Monday, about this time of year, we waited at the diner for the local crew to show up. After an hour or two we realized he might not show. The PC called his house and his wife told us, "It's deer season. I probably won't see him for a week or two".
She was right. After rifle season he was back and ready to work. Deer season is very important to some folks.
I have been camping at Lake Eufaula.
Got cold at night!

I can not see the name of that lake without hearing Choctaw Bingo in my mind.
